There's a difference between saying "let's use the draft to get RG3 now" thinking we're still a year away and shouldn't resort to accelerating the timetable.

But there are people on both sides: lets draft Griffin and give Shanahan time to build it organically, and people who want to draft Griffin and go for broke in free agency to win now and in the future. I think NC_Skins is taking to task only one version of the people who disagree with him.

To me, though, it's not mutually exclusive, and letting Shanahan have any more time to build organically given the folly of the last two seasons is every bit as bad of an option on blowing $40 million cap dollars in free agency in a make or break season. If you wanted to build organically, changing coaches would have been a better option.

Dang it Tripp, I was gonna comment on how you actually made a statement that the Skins improved (barely eeked it out of you), then you go and throw this out! Come on, give the Shanny's some love!

I can't risk ruining my reputation though by having a good thread or two.

Though my personal feeling is that my opinions re: the Shanahan's will appear far more balanced and observant when fan perception isn't so out of line with the short term results. Nobody gushes flowers and teddy bears over a successful Redskins coach quite like I can. Zorn was jobbed!

(and also not particularly successful)
